(Đọc đoạn văn của Jamie và trả lời câu hỏi)

Can MEN do jobs that WOMEN traditionally do?

Many people say that there are jobs that only women can do, but think that men can do them, too. First of all, in the past, women did jobs like flight attendant because men did not want to. Today people see that there is no reason why men should not do such jobs. With good skills and a carine personality, men can do the jobs as well as women. Secondly, women are now doing ditferent kinds of  jobs. Because of this, there are not enough women to work in areas like nursing. Therefore, these fields actually need men and they have proved that they can be excellent in these jobs. All in all, I believe that men can do all kinds of  jobs that women normally do.
